Abstract
An autobiographical overview of Gene Amdah´s professional career reviews his early achievements and describes for the first time some important details of his talk at the 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference in Atlantic City and the heated discussions that followed. The author provides much-needed clarifications, most notably his original performance formula as presented nearly 50 years ago.
